The Castellón side is already looking for a replacement for the former FC Barcelona coach; Sounds like Julen Lopetegui.
Villarreal CF fired Quique Setién on Tuesday, September 5. The club’s director of football, Miguel Ángel Tena, takes over temporarily, but Julen Lopetegui appears as one of the candidates for the Yellow Submarine bench.
Why Villarreal fires Quique Setién as coach and who his replacement would be
Villarreal added just three of a possible 12 points in LaLiga 2023-24, the main reason why Setién finally leaves the Estadio de La Cerámica. The poor results at the start of the course condemn the former Betis coach, whose team could not have beaten Mallorca until the second day. In the first they fell exactly against Betis, in the third against Barcelona and in the fourth against Cádiz.
As reported by the newspaper “AS”, Julen Lopetegui appears as one of the candidates for the submarine bank, although he is not the only option the board is considering. It should be remembered that the former Real Madrid, Sevilla and former Spain coach has been out of work since he left Wolves a few days after the start of the Premier League season.
